End of Year Arrangements

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am delighted and honoured to have been appointed as the new Principal for Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy,
and I’m very keen to get to know all our pupils, parents, carers and staff.

We are an International Baccalaureate World School authorised to deliver the Middle Years Programme. At the heart of my vision is a commitment to the IB philosophy that generates high standards, a respectful and disciplined community where students and staff thrive; a no-excuses ethos prevails and aspirations are unashamedly high as we celebrate diversity and educate for a better world.

From my experience of leading schools, I know that a successful school depends on all of us working together. As parents and carers, you make an important contribution to your children’s achievements, and I’m excited to build on the relationship between you and the school for everyone’s benefit.

I will be holding a number of events over the next academic term, including coffee mornings and drop-in sessions. I look forward to meeting many of you there. These meetings will take place at a number of different times in the day and week in the hope that as many families as possible will have the opportunity to attend.

We will be in touch with the details in the new academic year.

As the academic year draws to close, I would like to thank you for your continued support during challenging times when we are all adjusting to events post lockdowns. I have been very grateful for the dedication and resilience shown by our staff and how well our students have settled back into routines, especially the Year 11 and 13 students who have just finished their GCSE and A level examinations. We wish them well for results days and a bright future ahead.

During Module 6, it has been very pleasing to see the return of the school production, ‘Matilda’, and a wide range of trips, visits and other events; more details of which can be found in the newsletter. Leaders have been working hard to ensure the academy is fully staffed for September and have appointed some very talented new teachers and support staff.

The last day of term is Thursday 21 July for Years 7, 8, 9 and 12. The programme for the day is as follows:

Year 10 students will be on work experience from Wednesday 20-Friday 22 July 2022.

Friday 22 July – Virtual Learning Day

Students will be engaging in a virtual learning project at home whilst staff are moving their classrooms to their new locations. Years 7-9 will be set a project which focuses on the MYP learner profile and Year 10s will be completing their work experience virtually from home.

Where families are unable to provide adequate supervision, students will be supervised in school. They will complete the same project which has been set on the Google classroom. If your child will be in school, please complete the form below.

REGISTER YOUR CHILD FOR ONSITE PROVISION – 22nd July 2022

The dates for the academic year 2022-2023 are published on the website but for ease of reference the first few days are as follows:

• Thursday 1 September – Years 7 and 12 only
• Friday 2 September – all students return.
  Students should line up in their school playground at 8.20am. Tutors will then collect them and take them to either assembly or their tutor rooms where they will receive their timetables and key information regarding the week and year ahead.

The start and end of the school day will not change from September, however, some adjustments have been made by the leadership team to strengthen pastoral support and make best use of the time available. The adapted structure of the day is set out below.

On behalf of the staff and governors at Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy, we wish you and your families an enjoyable and restful summer holiday and look forward to welcoming you back in September.

Yours sincerely,

Ms Kazmi
Principal
